Jason Calacanis Predicts Tesla Optimus Will Eclipse iPhone by 2036
On a podcast after watching Beijing’s World Humanoid Robot Games, Jason Calacanis said he saw an Optimus demo not yet public, calling it humanity’s greatest product and predicting it will outvalue Apple’s iPhone and capture 35 of 51 events. He forecast 1 billion Optimuses by 2036. Tesla has already begun shifting its Fremont Model S/X production area toward an Optimus line, though Musk warned scaling will require building a new supply chain.
